90 points Wine Enthusiast: "Among the canon of Italian spirits, Aperol and the Aperol Spritz cocktail are classics, available at a growing range of America's best bars. The lurid red hue is recognizable from across the room. It's light on every count—in terms of alcohol content, sweetness level and texture. The gentle sweet-bitter profile goes down easy—especially when lightened with bubbles. (KN)" (04/2014) K&L Notes: Aperol's unique flavor and color is achieved through a subtle blend of bitter orange, gentian, rhubarb and an array of herbs and roots-...Read More »

From the official Angustura website: "Made with the same original secret recipe since 1824, the world famous Angostura aromatic bitters remains the quintessential and definitive ingredient for classic and contemporary cocktails. Its versatility, however, stretches way beyond the bar counter as it serves as a unique flavour enhancer with the ability to marry flavours in the preparation of all food dishes. Angostura aromatic bitters also adds its unmistakable flavour and aroma to 'soft' beverages and desserts."

Amaro Angeleno is LA's answer to the exploding Amaro scene. The Italian culture of drinking bitter liqueurs is centuries old. Since at least the early 1700s, distillers across Apennine peninsula have carefully guarded their secret recipes, usually traced back to some famous monastery, often promising good health, strong loins, or long life. Using both local and exotic ingredients they created something truly unique to that place. In that image, Amaro Angeleno was created to be a true product of terroir, inspired by those that came before, but distinct fr...Read More »

93 points Wine Enthusiast: "This aroma of this sweet vermouth suggests dark berries and savory spices. The first sip is sweet, rich and plummy, with flickers of juicy orange.

Just when you think you've tasted every type of booze known to man, you discover that there are yet more regionally specific spirits being distilled in places you've never considered. Take Bolivia, for example. In Bolivia they make a pisco-like spirit called Singani, distilled from Muscat of Alexandria grapes grown high in the Andes mountains. Seeing that Muscat is an aromatic varietal, known for its fruity and floral character, the Singani spirit distilled from it takes on many of the perfumes found in the expressive grape. The result is a clean and vib...Read More »

Wine Enthusiast: "This brawny alpine amaro has found favor among high-end mixologists for its sharp, distinct pine characteristic. In the glass, it's ruddy brown, and features a dense, piny aroma spiked with mint. On the palate, it's austere, starting with notes of allspice and toffee and lots of pine mid palate, fading into a clean, slightly herbal bitterness. Use to add bracing pine flavor to cocktails or sip as a post-dinner palate cleanser.

This small-batch absinthe is crafted on 100-plus-year-old alembic stills using ins...Read More »

92 points Wine Enthusiast: "From a producer known for unusual spiced rums, here's an 11-year-old whiskey flavored with “double smoked” barrel staves. The aroma suggests brown sugar, marzipan and butterscotch. That brown sugar is echoed on the palate, along with oak and plenty of baking spice. The finish is long and a little hot, a cinnamon tingle dancing on the tip of the tongue. *best buy* (KM)" (07/2017) K&L Notes: Special Order Only!

This traditional Scandinavian grain spirit is crisp, with the alcohol really taking a backseat to the pure anise and caraway flavors...Read More »

From the producer: "Once distilled, absinthe is a gorgeous, brilliant clear. Because of the anise in absinthe, it turns a milky white with a slight blue haze when when water is added. This is called the louche. Blanche is French for white, thought Absinthe is more widely known as a verte, or green, spirit. Traditional absinthes obtain their green color strictly from the chlorophyll of whole herbs, which is extracted from the plants.

From the producer: "Vermouth Perucchi was the first Spanish vermouth. It was first made in 1876 by Don Augustus Perucchi.

A beautiful orange liqueur with a touch of quinine and gentian. The classic Alsatian way to serve this is with a beer. Pour 1.5 oz into your glass and then add your favorite brew. The orange adds to the maltiness and the slight bitters complements the hops perfectly.

This aperitif wine has been in production since 1865. It was also an early sponsor of the Tour de France. From the importer: "It is made by an infusion of gentian, cinchona (quinine) and renowned herbs of the Grand Chartreuse mountains in a Mistelle base. Traditionally enjoyed neat or with a twist; also may enhance classic drinks in place of sweet red vermouth."

Wine Enthusiast: "Sweetened with honey from the Sibillini Mountains, this deep-brown amaro is rich, with touches of baked fruit, honey, nuts and dark chocolate. However, a bitter streak plows right through any sweetness on the palate, leaving bountiful herbal and spicy-hot notes in its wake. Use sparingly to add aromatics to cocktails.
